Reference notes
This page counts weekends, New Zealand statutory public holidays, and one optional regional anniversary day. It does not model court shutdowns, industry closures, or custom business rules.
- Start with the national baseline, then switch to a region only if an anniversary day could change the result.
- Use the monthly totals as the source of truth for annual planning. Use the main calculator when you need exact counts across a specific date range.
For the full holiday list, see the NZ public holidays guide. If your deadlines depend on substitute-day rules, read the mondayisation explainer.
Quick answers
Year Summary FAQs
Working days exclude Saturdays, Sundays, and New Zealand's national statutory public holidays. When you choose a region, its anniversary day is also removed from the total.
The summary includes New Zealand's national public holidays for the selected year, including movable dates such as Easter and Matariki. Regional anniversary days are added only when you choose a specific region.
Disrupted weeks highlight periods where a public holiday breaks up a normal work week. They are often the weeks where staffing assumptions, turnaround promises, and filing windows become tighter than expected.
No. The year summary tracks weekends, statutory holidays, and regional anniversary days only. Use the main calculator when you need industry or rule-specific shutdown periods.
The national baseline view shows New Zealand statutory holidays without a regional anniversary day layered on top. Switch to a region when you need the more locally accurate total for a workplace or commitment tied to that area.
